Mousing

Poem Body

.

The neighbors are fucking again.          
One slab of meat slapping off the other:          
greedy, porcine. He grunts, she grunts.        
         
My cigarette heats a fingernail      
bringing me back to my own frigid hands.   
I ping it far enough to land in their garden.        
         
She squeals; her Polish is music. I wonder  
if she sounds like that when he's out of her.  
I see my empty bed and my eyes fall  
cuntwards.

Reality is such a harsh thing but in poetry
is really quite beautiful,

thanks for sharing this slice with us.

Ahh, yes. Reality is a bit of an enemy at times. And that cigarette was the best weapon I had at that moment ;)

A good visual of someone that is alone, where just the heat of a cigarette brings back reality,
